    Extending a partition.


    I shrinked my E: drive which happens to be the primary partition though Windows is not installed on it.

    And now when I try to extend the D: drive using the un-allocated space the "Extend volume" option is greyed out.

    The "Extend volume" option is greyed out even for C: drve. But works fine for E: drive.

    I'm using "Disk Management" tool from the control panel.

According to the help files the adjacent partition should allow me to be extended and absorb the partition next to it which is free space. See screenshot. Why does it not allow it?
